Question 1

What does ReguSift actually do?

Accepted Answer

ReguSift extracts ingredient and nutrient data from COAs, formulas, specification sheets, and existing labels, then organizes them into FDA-compliant Nutrition Facts panels (21 CFR 101.9) or Supplement Facts panels (21 CFR 101.36). It highlights potential formatting issues and exports clean production-ready files in PDF, SVG, PNG, XML, and JSON formats.
ReguSift automates the entire workflow: upload → extract → edit → export, turning what used to take hours in Illustrator into a 2-minute process.

Question 2

Is ReguSift FDA approved?

Accepted Answer

No. ReguSift is not affiliated with or approved by the FDA. It helps generate FDA-style Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts panels and provides formatting assistance, but you remain responsible for reviewing the final label before use.
Always consult a qualified regulatory professional for compliance verification. ReguSift is a preparation tool, not a substitute for expert review.

Question 3

Can AI guarantee compliance?

Accepted Answer

No. AI assists with extraction and formatting — it flags potential issues such as missing Daily Values, incorrect unit formatting, or inconsistent serving sizes, but final regulatory responsibility remains with the manufacturer or label owner.
AI is a tool, not a replacement for professional review. Learn about FDA compliance requirements.

Question 4

What file types can I upload?

Accepted Answer

ReguSift supports PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP, Excel (.xlsx), and Word (.docx) files. You can upload:
• Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
• Specification sheets
• Formula documents
• Photos of existing nutrition or supplement labels
The AI extracts structured data from any of these formats. See how COA uploads work.

Question 5

Can I generate a Supplement Facts panel from a COA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Certificate of Analysis contains ingredient identities, amounts, and specifications — everything needed to build a Supplement Facts panel.
ReguSift automates this: upload your COA, and the AI extracts ingredient names, amounts, units, and Daily Values, then auto-generates a formatted panel you can edit and export. Learn how to convert step by step.

Question 6

Can I convert a Certificate of Analysis into a Supplement Facts label?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift converts COAs into FDA-style Supplement Facts labels automatically. Upload your COA document, review the extracted data in an editable grid, adjust any values, and export the final panel in 5 vector & pixel formats (PDF, SVG, PNG, XML, JSON).
The entire process takes under 2 minutes. See the detailed step-by-step guide.

Question 7

Does ReguSift work with botanical extracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift handles botanical extracts including Lion's Mane, Ashwagandha, Creatine, Collagen, Turmeric, and many others. It correctly formats botanical names with common names, extract ratios, and standardizes units according to FDA Supplement Facts requirements.
For example, "Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) Extract (fruiting body)" is formatted with the proper hierarchy and weight declaration.

Question 8

Can ReguSift generate dual-column labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift supports FDA dual-column Supplement Facts panels and Nutrition Facts panels, which are required when a supplement or food is intended for multiple populations (e.g., adults and children) or when per-serving and per-container information must be displayed side by side.
Learn when dual-column labels are required.

Question 9

Does ReguSift support FDA dual column labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift fully supports the FDA dual column format required for products with multiple serving scenarios. The dual-column layout displays nutrition information per serving and per container simultaneously, meeting 21 CFR 101.9(b) requirements for foods and 21 CFR 101.36 for supplements.

See what is included in one export.

Question 23

What is the difference between a Supplement Facts panel and a Nutrition Facts panel?

Accepted Answer

A Supplement Facts panel is required for dietary supplements and lists ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs, and botanicals with their amounts and Daily Values. A Nutrition Facts panel is required for conventional foods and lists macronutrients (calories, fat, carbs, protein).
Key differences include: Supplement Facts lists the part of the plant (e.g., "root" or "fruiting body"), does not include "0 g" values for nutrients not present, and uses a different set of required Daily Values. The formatting rules also differ — Supplement Facts uses a specific column layout with "Other Ingredients" listed separately below the panel.
ReguSift generates both panel types: Nutrition Facts panels (21 CFR 101.9) with macronutrients, Added Sugars, and RACC-based serving sizes, as well as Supplement Facts panels (21 CFR 101.36) with botanical names, proprietary blends, and dual-column layouts.

Question 24

How do I calculate Daily Value percentages?

Accepted Answer

Daily Value (DV) percentages are calculated by dividing the amount of a nutrient per serving by the FDA-established Daily Value for that nutrient, then multiplying by 100.
For example, if a serving contains 60 mg of Vitamin C and the DV is 90 mg: (60 ÷ 90) × 100 = 67%.
ReguSift auto-calculates DV percentages based on current FDA reference values. See the step-by-step guide.

Question 25

What is a proprietary blend?

Accepted Answer

A proprietary blend is a combination of dietary ingredients listed under a single trade name on the Supplement Facts panel. Under FDA regulations (21 CFR 101.36), the total weight of the blend must be declared, and individual ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight — but individual amounts do not need to be disclosed.
The dagger symbol (†) is used when a Daily Value has not been established for an ingredient. Proprietary blends are common in pre-workout supplements, nootropics, and multi-ingredient formulas where the exact ratio is a trade secret.
ReguSift supports proprietary blend formatting with proper hierarchy, indentation, weight ordering, and dagger symbols. Learn how to list a proprietary blend step by step.

Question 26

What is a wide vertical Supplement Facts label?

Accepted Answer

A wide vertical Supplement Facts label is a layout format where the panel is oriented vertically with wider columns, typically used on larger supplement containers such as protein powder tubs, large vitamin bottles, and bulk containers. This format is an alternative to the standard horizontal layout and is permitted by the FDA when the container shape or size makes the standard format impractical.
The wide vertical format provides more horizontal space for ingredient names, which is especially useful for products with long botanical names or multiple proprietary blends.
Learn how to create a wide vertical label.

Question 27

What is a dual column label?

Accepted Answer

A dual column label displays nutrition information in two or more columns side by side. This format is required by the FDA when a product has multiple serving sizes (e.g., "per serving" and "per container") or is intended for different population groups such as adults and children under 4.
Under 21 CFR 101.9(b), dual-column labeling is mandatory for packages containing between 1 and 2 servings. The columns must display consistent formatting with identical nutrients in the same order.
Learn when dual-column is required or see how to format one.

Question 28

When is a dual column label required?

Accepted Answer

The FDA requires dual-column labeling when:
A package contains between 1 and 2 servings and the serving size is larger than a common unit
A product is intended for multiple population subgroups (e.g., adults and children under 4)
The product requires both "per serving" and "per container" information
ReguSift automatically detects when dual-column formatting is needed. Learn how to format one.

Question 29

Can I export SVG files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift exports Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts panels in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. SVG files are resolution-independent, meaning they scale perfectly to any size without quality loss — ideal for professional printing, large-format packaging, and editing in design software like Adobe Illustrator or Figma.
Learn why SVG is better than PNG for labels.

Question 30

Why is SVG better than PNG for labels?

Accepted Answer

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector format that stores shapes as mathematical paths rather than pixels. This means it scales infinitely without quality loss — a 1-inch label and a 10-foot banner will both look perfectly crisp. PNG is a raster format made of pixels, so it becomes blurry or pixelated when enlarged beyond its original resolution.
For nutrition and supplement labels, this distinction matters because labels are printed at various sizes: small supplement bottles, food packages, large protein tubs, and retail displays all require different physical dimensions. SVG ensures consistent quality across all of them.
ReguSift recommends SVG or PDF for production printing, and PNG only for digital previews at a fixed size. Can I export SVG?

Question 31

What's the difference between PDF and XML export?

Accepted Answer

PDF export produces a print-ready document with embedded fonts and precise layout, ideal for sending directly to printers. XML export produces a structured, machine-readable file with all ingredient, amount, and metadata fields tagged semantically — ideal for ERP, PIM, and print-management system integration.
Both formats maintain full data fidelity and are included in every export. See all export formats.

Question 32

Can I edit the label after AI extraction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After AI extraction, all values populate an editable structured grid where you can adjust ingredient names, amounts, units, serving sizes, section ordering, and Daily Values. You can add or remove ingredients, reorder rows, modify proprietary blends or nutrient formatting, and fine-tune the panel before exporting the final label.

Question 33

How to convert a COA into a Supplement Facts label?

Accepted Answer

Traditionally, converting a Certificate of Analysis into a Supplement Facts label required manually transcribing data into Illustrator or InDesign — a process that could take 30–60 minutes per label and was prone to errors.
With ReguSift, the process takes three steps:
Upload your COA document (PDF, PNG, Excel, or Word)
Review the AI-extracted data in an editable grid — adjust names, amounts, units, and Daily Values
Export the final panel in production-ready PDF, SVG, PNG, XML, or JSON format
The entire workflow takes under 2 minutes. See what file types you can upload.

Question 34

How to format a dual-column dietary supplement label?

Accepted Answer

A dual-column Supplement Facts label displays nutrition data in two or more columns. Here's how to create one:
Determine if required: Dual-column is needed when a product serves multiple populations or has multiple serving scenarios. See when it's required
Set up columns: Define each column's target population (e.g., Adults / Children under 4) or serving scenario (per serving / per container)
Enter data: Fill in ingredient amounts for each column — Daily Values are calculated automatically
Format and export: ReguSift handles the FDA-compliant layout, including proper column spacing and header formatting
Learn more about dual-column panels.

Question 35

How to create a wide vertical Supplement Facts label?

Accepted Answer

A wide vertical label uses a vertical orientation with wider columns, ideal for larger containers. Here's how:
Choose the layout: Select "Wide Vertical" as your panel orientation in ReguSift
Enter data: Fill in your ingredient data as you would for any Supplement Facts panel
Adjust width: The wider column format accommodates longer ingredient names and additional columns
Export: Generate in SVG or PDF for crisp printing at any size
Learn more about wide vertical labels.

Question 36

How to calculate Daily Value percentages for supplements and foods?

Accepted Answer

Daily Value (DV) percentages show how much a nutrient contributes to the recommended daily intake. The formula is:
DV% = (Amount per serving ÷ FDA Daily Value) × 100
For example:
• Vitamin C: 60 mg per serving, FDA DV = 90 mg → (60 ÷ 90) × 100 = 67%
• Calcium: 200 mg per serving, FDA DV = 1,300 mg → (200 ÷ 1,300) × 100 = 15%
ReguSift auto-calculates DV percentages using the latest FDA reference values (21 CFR 101.9 for foods, 21 CFR 101.36 for supplements). Learn more about DV calculations.

Question 37

How to list a proprietary blend on a Supplement Facts panel?

Accepted Answer

A proprietary blend groups multiple ingredients under a single trade name. Here's how to format one correctly:
List the blend name followed by the total weight (e.g., "Focus Blend † 500 mg")
List ingredients in descending order by weight — this is an FDA requirement
Use proper indentation to show the blend hierarchy
Do not disclose individual amounts — only the total weight is required
Use the dagger symbol (†) when Daily Values have not been established
ReguSift automatically handles proprietary blend formatting with proper hierarchy, indentation, and weight ordering. Learn what a proprietary blend is.

Question 38

ReguSift vs manual label creation — what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Manual label creation involves transcribing ingredient data from COAs or spec sheets into Illustrator or InDesign, manually calculating Daily Values, checking formatting against FDA guidelines, and exporting — typically 30–60 minutes per label with a high error rate.
ReguSift automates the entire pipeline: upload → AI extraction → editable grid → compliance checks → export. The same label takes under 2 minutes, with built-in formatting validation and auto-calculated DVs. See how the workflow works.

Question 39

AI label generator vs hiring a designer — which is better?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a designer gives you full creative control and custom branding, but typically costs $200–$500 per label and takes 2–5 business days per revision cycle. Designers also need accurate ingredient data from you, which still requires manual transcription from COAs.
An AI label generator like ReguSift handles the data extraction, formatting, and compliance checks automatically — producing a production-ready panel in under 2 minutes at a fraction of the cost. Many teams use both: ReguSift for the Nutrition or Supplement Facts panel, and a designer for the full label layout and branding. See what ReguSift includes.

Question 40

How does ReguSift compare to other label tools?

Accepted Answer

Most nutrition and supplement label tools are template-based: you manually type ingredient data into pre-made templates. They don't extract data from your COAs, don't auto-calculate Daily Values, and don't flag compliance issues.
ReguSift is AI-native: it extracts structured data directly from uploaded documents, auto-generates the panel, flags formatting and compliance issues, and exports in multiple production-ready formats (SVG, PDF, PNG, XML, JSON). It's not a template filler — it's an end-to-end extraction-to-export workflow. See what ReguSift actually does.

Question 41

How does ReguSift handle proprietary blends under FDA rules?

Accepted Answer

ReguSift fully automates the complex sorting of proprietary blends. Under 21 CFR 101.36, components of a proprietary blend must be listed in descending order of predominance by weight, but their specific quantitative amounts can be omitted. ReguSift automatically verifies weight order, calculates the overall blend %DV, and formats the sub-ingredients with standard FDA indentations and symbol footnotes.

Question 42

Does the generator check for FDA allergen disclosure compliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), ReguSift scans your "Other Ingredients" list and automatically highlights any of the 9 major FDA allergens (including Sesame, Soy, Milk, etc.). It helps you format the mandatory "Contains" statement adjacent to the Supplement Facts panel.

Question 43

Can I get a refund if I am not satisfied with the generated label?

Accepted Answer

Because ReguSift offers an unlimited, fully-functional free preview with watermarks, you can verify your label's exact layout before purchasing. Once a single label is unlocked or a subscription export is triggered, the digital asset is immediately consumed and delivered. Therefore, all paid unlocks and subscriptions are strictly non-refundable.

Question 44

If I cancel my Pro subscription, can I still edit my previously unlocked labels?

Accepted Answer

Your unlocked labels remain saved in your account as read-only assets forever. To edit a locked/confirmed label, you can clone it as a new draft. While draft editing is free, unlocking the updated cloned version for export will require either a single credit ($29) or an active Pro subscription.

Question 45

What does ReguSift actually do for food labels?

Accepted Answer

ReguSift extracts nutrient data from COAs, specification sheets, formulas, and existing labels, then organizes them into FDA-style Nutrition Facts panels under 21 CFR 101.9. It highlights potential formatting issues and exports clean production-ready files in PDF, SVG, PNG, XML, and JSON formats.
ReguSift automates the entire workflow: upload → extract → edit → export, turning what used to take hours in Illustrator into a 2-minute process.

Question 46

Is ReguSift FDA approved?

Accepted Answer

No. ReguSift is not affiliated with or approved by the FDA. It helps generate FDA-style Nutrition Facts panels and provides formatting assistance, but you remain responsible for reviewing the final label before use.
Always consult a qualified regulatory professional for compliance verification. ReguSift is a preparation tool, not a substitute for expert review.

Question 47

Accepted Answer

ReguSift supports PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP, Excel (.xlsx), and Word (.docx) files. You can upload:
• Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
• Specification sheets
• Formula documents
• Photos of existing nutrition labels
The AI extracts structured data from any of these formats.

Question 48

Can I generate a Nutrition Facts panel from a COA or spec sheet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Certificate of Analysis or specification sheet contains nutrient identities, amounts, and units — everything needed to build a Nutrition Facts panel.
ReguSift automates this: upload your document, and the AI extracts nutrient names, amounts, units, and Daily Values, then auto-generates a formatted panel you can edit and export.

Question 49

Can ReguSift generate dual-column Nutrition Facts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift supports FDA dual-column Nutrition Facts panels, which are required when a food product has multiple serving scenarios (e.g., per-serving and per-container) or is intended for multiple populations (e.g., adults and children under 4).
Under 21 CFR 101.9(b), dual-column labeling is mandatory for packages containing between 1 and 2 servings.

Question 50

Can I export SVG files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift exports Nutrition Facts panels in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. SVG files are resolution-independent, meaning they scale perfectly to any size without quality loss — ideal for professional printing, large-format packaging, and editing in design software like Adobe Illustrator or Figma.
ReguSift recommends SVG or PDF for production printing, and PNG only for digital previews at a fixed size.

Question 51

Does ReguSift support both Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift operates two specialized compliance engines:
• Nutrition Facts Engine (21 CFR 101.9): for conventional food, beverages, snacks, and bakery. Handles 143 RACC categories, 2016 footnote mandates, and Big 9 allergen rules.
• Supplement Facts Engine (21 CFR 101.36): for vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, gummies, and powders. Supports DSHEA compliance, proprietary blends, and botanical source declarations.
Choose your track from the homepage or the navigation switcher.

Question 52

Can I use the same COA or spec sheet for both label types?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Certificate of Analysis or specification sheet contains nutrient identities, amounts, and units that ReguSift can parse for either engine.
However, the output format differs: Nutrition Facts panels follow 21 CFR 101.9 (with %DV, RACC, and Added Sugars), while Supplement Facts panels follow 21 CFR 101.36 (with proprietary blends and botanical source disclosures). ReguSift automatically applies the correct formatting rules based on the engine you select.

Question 53

Can I export editable vector artwork for Adobe Illustrator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReguSift exports fully vectorized SVG and print-ready PDF files with exact font sizing, rule line weights (e.g., 7pt thick lines), and outline typography suitable for packaging designers.
